Jane E. Rokes, NH Justice of the Peace / Wedding Officiant

Delighted and honored to have been awarded Bride's Choice Award for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012!

Being a practicing Justice of the Peace/Wedding Officiant for the State of New Hampshire, since 2004, is an incredible honor!  I continually remind my children to surround themselves with vocations that bring this kind of satisfaction.  Since becoming a JP, I have steadily increased the number of weddings I have officiated at, traveling throughout New Hampshire , Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. Being an integral part of a couple’s wedding experience is humbling.  I love to write, and generally I put an entire ceremony together for a couple as part of our fee arrangement.  It is not unheard of, however, to have a couple write their own ceremony and I serve more as a reader than a writer.  Tailoring a ceremony specifically to a couple is what I do, unless a couple wants a simple no frills ceremony or perhaps an elopement. 

My speciality is writing a ceremony that encompasses a unity piece crafted for each couple.  My formula is to get to know my couples so that each and every element is reflective of their journey to marriage and their vision for the future.

If I am not available to officiate for you, consider having a family member or close friend read a ceremony that I have custom written for you. Please contact me with any questions on how this can be done.

My fee is based upon the complexity of the ceremony, the venue, the amount of people, travel time and arranging to be present at a rehearsal. Please do not hesitate to call me with questions. 

As a NH JP, officiating in MA. requires a waiver form that can be faxed to the Secretary of State’s office. There is no extra charge for this waiver.  I've officiated in Topsfield, Newburyport, Holyoke, Cohasset, Wellesley,Templeton, Stow, Manchester-by-the Sea, Greenfield, Chatham, Gloucester and more.  

I have also officiated in Quechee,VT., Saco & York Beach, Maine and also Philadelphia in June,2012.

I've officiated in every county of New Hampshire.  Some of the venues I frequent are Cathedral of the Pines, The Shattuck, The Bedford Village Inn, Zorvino Vineyards, Keene Country Club, Stonewall Farm and Alyson's Orchard.  I look forward to making your wedding a memorable experience.
